What reading level is Sir Edwin Landseer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How blest the shelter of that island shore !
There, whilst he sobs, his panting heart to rest.
Nor hound nor hunter shall his lair molest." 86 LA^fDSEBB.
We all remem'ber the water dripping from the flanks of the beast, the swerving line, a little too mechanically drawn, of the flying fowl, the even colour of the twilight sky, the gleaming of the water, a surface hroken only by the track of the ripples the exhausted swimmer's shoulders had set in motion. The picture belongs to the Queen, and wa...s in the International Exhibition, 1862, and at the Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1853; and while there attracted much less attention than it deserved from the French, who demand qualities which Landseer did not always succeed in furnishing. We do not think it was on ac- count of the pathos of this picture that the jury awarded him the great gold medal, he being the only English painter to receive it ; many Englishmen desired that Mulready should obtain this distinction, and the award in Landseer's favour puzzled many, because he was much less a painter per se than Mulready, who expected a decision in the reverse direction.
